"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything."
James 1: 1-4
This verse goes along with being a disciple in God. A disciple is one who tells other people about God. Who knows God, and wants to learn more about him, digging up more dirt. In order to be a disciple and to spread the word we need to equip other people, challenge them, and test them in order for them to spread the word to other people.
I was at Youth group and someone said to me,
"You cannot just say hi to someone, shake their hand and tell them your name in order to get to know them. You have to get their phone number, text them, hang with them, eat, talk, and even share secrets right?"
Well yes.
"Even then you may be best friends and not know every little thing about them, correct?"
um... Yes again.
"Its like this with God. You cant just pop in, ask for something, and say Hi. You have to read his word, pray, get to know him in order to tell other people about him, and share his love and faith."
OK.
I later thought to myself the words she was saying. No hi and then bye.
I also learned at a discipleship group that you have to build an intentional relationship with God.
I-N-T-E-N-T-I-O-N-A-L Relationship.
What the hey does that mean?
You have to build up a relationship like you build a house. The foundation, brick by brick, and all the hard back work included. Get to know him by choice. indulge in the fact that you can read his word and not be whipped in public or even stoned to death.
On that happy note, TTYL!
